How to Use Steady and Rhythmic Pressure to Move the Haunches

Tik Maynard

In this segment, Tik shows how to teach a horse to move its haunches using steady and rhythmic pressure. He starts with steady pressure, encouraging patience and rewarding small efforts as the horse steps away calmly. For rhythmic pressure, he uses gentle, visible cues with a stick to guide the horse’s hindquarters from a safe distance. Tik highlights the importance of clear body language, gradual progress, and celebrating small wins to keep the horse relaxed, engaged, and confident.
